1. GENERAL The SE-135 is a microprocessor-based, combination ground-fault and ground-wire monitor for resistance-grounded systems. It has a switching power supply that accepts a wide range of ac and dc voltages, and its specifications apply over an industrial temperature range at high humidity. The SE-135 meets the IEEE surge-withstand-capability tests (oscillatory and fast transient) for protective relays and relay systems. Isolated, normally open and normally closed contacts are provided for contactor control or for shunt or undervoltage operation in a breaker-trip circuit. All operating conditions are clearly annunciated and two Form C contacts are provided for remote indication. The SE-135 is housed in an anodized extruded-aluminum enclosure, and all connections are made with plug-in, wire-clamping terminal blocks. Provision is made for both panel and surface mounting. The ground-fault circuit detects fundamental-frequency, zero-sequence current with a window-type current sensor and it verifies that the current sensor is connected and not shorted. A definite-time characteristic with 11 trip levels and 11 trip times allows coordination in virtually any resistance-grounded system. Although other current sensors may satisfy the verification circuit, only SE-CS10-series and SE-CS40-series sensors have characteristics that meet system specifications. Current-sensor verification can be disabled for a ground-check-only application. The ground-check circuit has an open-circuit voltage of 30 Vdc, which is not a hazard to personnel, and it has an output drive current above 100 mA for optimum performance in slip-ring, commutated-load, and high-induced-ac applications. Features include an externally accessible ground-check fuse, a resistance-insertion test, 3-kV isolation between the ground-check loop and the monitor electronics, and a PPI-600V accessory for parallel-ground-path rejection. A PPI-600V will also eliminate intermachine arcing and prevent stray ac and dc currents from flowing in the monitored ground wire. Unlike ground-check circuits using other termination devices, and especially those with phase-reversal switches, a ground-check circuit using a termination device with a Zener characteristic is capable of loop measurements that are independent of current in the phase conductors. The SE-135 ground-check circuit recognizes the SE-TA12A-series 12-volt Zener characteristic as a valid end-of-line completion. This is the only passive characteristic that will satisfy the ground-check circuit’s multi-level drive, allow induced currents to circulate in the ground-check loop, survive a phase-to-ground-check fault, and clamp the ground-check voltage during the fault. Although a standard 12-volt Zener diode may engage the SE-135’s ground-check circuit, only an

SE-TA12A-series termination assembly has the compensation required to meet system specifications.

2. OPERATION 2.1 GROUND-FAULT CIRCUIT 2.1.1 GF TRIP TIME SETTING The ground-fault circuit has a definite-time characteristic with 11 settings from 0.1 to 2.5 seconds. Time-coordinated ground-fault protection requires the trip time to be longer than the trip time of downstream ground-fault devices. 2.1.2 GF TRIP LEVEL SETTING The trip level of the ground-fault circuit is switch selectable with 11 settings from 0.5 to 12.5 A for the SE-CS10-series CT and from 2 to 50 A for the SE-CS40-series CT. A minimum tripping ratio of five is recommended to achieve at least 80% winding protection, and this requires the trip level to be no more than 20% of the grounding-resistor let-through current. A ground-fault trip is latched, requiring a reset. A current-sensor failure will also cause a ground-fault trip. See Section 3.1. If the SE-135 is operated in a ground-check-only application and an SE-CS10 is not connected, connect terminals 17 and 18 to disable sensor verification. See Fig. 1. 2.2 GROUND-CHECK CIRCUIT The ground-check loop consists of the outgoing ground-check conductor, quick-coupler connections, the SE-TA12A-series termination assembly, the SE-TA12A connection to equipment frame or ground bus, the ground-return path, and the SE-135 cable-ground-terminal connection to substation ground. The SE-135 detects a valid ground-check loop when an SE-TA12A-series termination assembly is detected in the loop and loop resistance is less than 28 ohms (45 ohms for XGC option). The loop is not valid if open (or high resistance), or if the ground-check conductor is shorted to ground. When the ground-check loop is valid, the SE-135 ground-check circuit can be tested by pressing the GC TEST button or by shorting GC TEST terminals 11 and 12. This test invalidates the loop by inserting 47 ohms (75 ohms for XGC option) in the ground-check loop and a trip should occur in less than 250 ms. The ground-check circuit is usually operated in the non-latching mode; however, it can be operated in the latching mode by connecting terminals 14 and 15. The ground-check circuit is protected by a 1.5-A time-delay fuse (F1). If the SE-135 is used in a ground-fault-only application, an SE-TA12A must be connected to the ground-check and cable-ground terminals to validate the ground-check circuit. See Fig. 1.

The typical maximum distance of a trailing cable is 5.0 km (3.1 miles) for the standard model and up to 10 km (6.3 miles) for the XGC option. Several factors may limit the maximum distance of the cable, including the ground-check wire gauge, and induced ac current in the ground-check loop. 2.3 RESET All ground-fault trips are latching and ground-check trips can be latching or non-latching. To reset ground-fault trips or latching ground-check trips, press the RESET button or connect the RESET terminals 9 and 10. See Fig. 1. Cycling the supply voltage will also reset ground-fault trips; however, if the ground-check circuit is configured for latching fail-safe operation, the ground-check circuit will trip when supply voltage is applied. The single-shot reset circuit responds only to a momentary closure; a jammed or shorted button will not maintain a reset signal. The front-panel RESET button is inoperative when remote-reset terminals 9 and 10 are connected. See Section 4.5. 2.4 TRIP RELAY Isolated, normally open (Trip A, terminals 24 and 25) and normally closed (Trip B, terminals 22 and 23) contacts are provided for use in a contactor- or breaker-control circuit. With no connection between terminals 12 and 13, the SE-135 trip relay operates in the fail-safe mode. This mode is used with undervoltage devices where the trip relay energizes and its normally open contact closes if the ground-fault and ground-check circuits are not tripped. This mode is recommended because: • Undervoltage devices release if supply voltage fails. • Undervoltage ground-check circuits do not allow the

power circuit and open cable couplers to be energized until the ground-check loop is verified.

The fail-safe mode of operation of the SE-135 trip relay can be used for shunt-trip circuits with a stored-energy trip source. In this case, the normally closed trip contact is used—the contact opens when the SE-135 is energized and the ground-fault and ground-check circuits are not tripped. Care must be taken to ensure safe and correct operation during power up and power down. Connect terminals 12 and 13 for non-fail-safe trip relay operation with shunt-trip devices. In this mode, the normally open trip contact is used—the trip contact is closed when a ground-fault or ground-check trip occurs. Shunt-trip circuits are not fail-safe and are not recommended because: • Shunt-trip devices do not operate if supply voltage

fails.

• Shunt-trip ground-check circuits allow the power circuit and open cable couplers to be energized for a short interval after supply voltage is applied.

CAUTION: The SE-135 is not a lock-out device. Follow lock-out procedures for maintenance.

2.5 NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS An IEEE 802.3 port with Modbus® TCP Ethernet protocol is available. The SE-135 default IP address is 10.0.0.1. Use SE-MON-GFGC to change the IP address, monitor connected SE-135 units, and to issue remote commands. SE-MON-GFGC can be downloaded from www.littelfuse.com/relayscontrols. If the computer running SE-MON-GFGC has more than one active network connection, SE-MON-GFGC may not detect the SE-135. Ensure SE-MON-GFGC is not blocked by Windows Firewall by adding it to the Firewall Exceptions list in the Windows Control Panel. On start-up SE-MON-GFGC scans the network for SE-135 units and displays them in a list. Select one from the list and click “Edit” to change the IP address, subnet mask, or description. When selecting an IP address, ensure it is not already in use. Click “Apply” to save the changes. SE-MON-GFGC will pause for five seconds and scan the network again. To view the status of an SE-135, select the unit and click “Monitor”. If a warning appears, the SE-135 may have been set to an IP address that is not accessible by the network. Table 1 shows the SE-135 coil addresses. Table 2 provides the holding registers in 16-bit format. A remote reset can be generated by writing DO1 high for one second and then writing it back to low.

3. INDICATION 3.1 GROUND FAULT A red TRIP LED indicates a ground-fault trip and the remote-indication relay GF is energized when the ground-fault circuit is not tripped (fail-safe indication-contact operation). A green SENSOR LED indicates a current sensor is correctly connected. If the SE-CS10- or SE-CS40-series current sensor is disconnected or shorted, the green LED will go out and the ground-fault circuit will trip. If the sensor fault is intermittent, the ground-fault circuit will trip and the green LED will flash to indicate that the trip was initiated by a sensor fault. NOTE: The SE-CS10- and SE-CS40-series current sensors are 600-V-rated current transformers. When system voltage is above 600 V, ensure conductors passed through the sensor window are insulated to system voltage. 3.2 POWER The green POWER LED indicates that the internal power supply is on. 3.3 DIAGNOSTIC ERROR The red DIAGNOSTIC ERROR LED indicates that an internal error caused the SE-135 to trip. Return the SE-135 to the factory if a reset does not clear the trip. Induced ac current in the ground-check loop can cause the LED to flicker. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a diagnostic error; the ground-check monitoring circuit is not affected. 3.4 GROUND CHECK A red TRIP LED indicates a ground-check trip. A green VALID LED indicates a valid ground-check loop and the remote-indication relay GC is energized when the ground-check loop is valid (fail-safe indication-contact operation). Two yellow LED’s indicate the status of an invalid ground-check loop. OPEN indicates the loop resistance exceeds the trip resistance and SHORT indicates the ground-check conductor is shorted to the ground conductor. A flashing yellow LED indicates the corrected cause of a latched ground-check trip. 4. INSTALLATION

4.1 GENERAL This ground-fault ground-check monitoring system consists of an SE-135 Monitor, an SE-CS10- or SE-CS40-series Current Sensor, and an SE-TA12A-series Termination Assembly connected as shown in Fig. 1. If required, remote indication and reset can be implemented with standard pilot devices, or with an RK-132 Remote-Indication-and-Reset Kit.

4.2 MONITOR Each SE-135 is packaged with both panel- and surface-mounting hardware. Outline and panel-cutout dimensions for the SE-135 are shown in Fig. 2. To panel mount the SE-135, insert it through the panel cutout and secure it with the four supplied 8-32 locknuts and flat washers. If an optional SE-IP65CVR-G is used, follow the included installation instructions. See Figs. 4 and 5. All connections to the SE-135 are made through plug-in, wire-clamping terminal blocks for 24 to 12 AWG (0.2 to 2.5 mm2) conductors. Each plug-in terminal block can be secured to the monitor by two captive screws for reliable connections in high-vibration applications. Outline dimensions and mounting details for surface mounting an SE-135 are shown in Fig. 3. Fasten the SE-134-SMA Surface-Mount Adapter to the mounting surface and make connections to the adapter terminal blocks. Follow the instructions in Fig. 3 to install or remove the SE-135. Use terminal 1 (L1) as the line terminal on ac systems or the positive terminal on dc systems. Use terminal 2 (L2/N) as the neutral terminal on ac systems or the negative terminal on dc systems.

NOTE: On revision 4 and newer units, terminal 3 (SPG) is internally connected to terminal 4. For these units an external terminal-3-to-terminal-4 connection is not required, nor is it necessary to remove the terminal-3 connection for dielectric-strength testing.

4.3 CURRENT SENSORS Outline dimensions and mounting details for the SE-CS10- and SE-CS40-series current sensors are shown in Fig. 6. Pass only phase conductors through the sensor window as shown in Fig. 1. If a shield, ground, or ground-check conductor enters the sensor window, it must be returned through the window before it is terminated. Connect the current sensor to terminals 16 and 17. Ground terminal 17. Current-sensor primary and secondary connections are not polarity sensitive. See Section 4.7. 4.4 TERMINATION ASSEMBLY Outline dimensions and mounting details for the SE-TA12A, SE-TA12A-WL, and SE-TA12ASF-WL are shown in Figs. 7 and 8. Install the SE-TA12A at the load to complete the ground-check loop as shown in Fig. 1. Connect terminal G of the SE-TA12A to the equipment frame so that the ground-conductor-to-equipment-frame connection will be included in the monitored loop. 4.5 REMOTE OPERATION   Remote indication contacts and a reset input are provided as shown in Fig. 1. The optional RK-132 Remote Kit is shown in Fig. 9. Connect terminals of the green ground-check indicator to

SE-135 terminals 26 and 27 and the red ground-fault indicator to terminals 19 and 21. For remote reset, connect the normally open push-button switch across terminals 9 and 10. 4.6 PARALLEL-PATH ISOLATION A PPI-600V can be used for parallel-path rejection. A PPI-600V will also eliminate inter-machine arcing and prevent stray ac and dc currents from flowing in

the monitored ground wire. See Figs. 10 and 11. See    Technical Note GC-10 “Parallel Path Isolator” at www.littelfuse.com/relayscontrols, or contact Littelfuse Startco for application details. 4.7 FERRITE PLACEMENT A ferrite kit is included with CE-compliant options only. Where CE compliance is desired, install each ferrite as shown in Fig. 12. If a current sensor is used, connect the shield wire as shown in Fig. 13.

8.5 GROUND-FAULT PERFORMANCE TEST   To meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC), as applicable, the overall ground-fault protection system requires a performance test when first installed. A written record of the performance test is to be retained by those in charge of the electrical installation in order to make it available to the authority having jurisdiction. A test-record form is provided for recording the date and the final results of the performance tests. The following ground-fault system tests are to be conducted by qualified personnel: a) Evaluate the interconnected system in accordance with

the overall equipment manufacturer’s detailed instructions.

b) Verify proper location of the ground-fault current sensor. Ensure the cables pass through the ground-fault-current-sensor window. This check can be done visually with knowledge of the circuit. The connection of the current-sensor secondary to the SE-135 is not polarity sensitive.

c) Verify that the system is correctly grounded and that alternate ground paths do not exist that bypass the current sensor. High-voltage testers and resistance bridges can be used to determine the existence of alternate ground paths.

d) Verify proper reaction of the circuit-interrupting device in response to a simulated or controlled ground-fault current. To simulate ground-fault current, use CT-primary current injection. Fig. 14 shows a test circuit using Littelfuse Startco Ground-Fault-Relay Test Units. The SE-400 has a programmable output of 0.5 to 9.9 A for a duration of 0.1 to 9.9 seconds. Set the test current to 120% of GF TRIP LEVEL. The SE-100T provides a test current of 0.65 or 2.75 A for testing 0.5- and 2.0-A trip levels. Inject the test current through the current-sensor window for at least 2.5 seconds. Verify that the circuit under test has reacted properly. Correct any problems and re-test until the proper reaction is verified.

e) Record the date and the results of the test on the attached test-record form.  

TABLE 3. GROUND-FAULT-TEST RECORD DATE TEST RESULTS Retain this record for the authority having jurisdiction.
